About this event
How do scientists define the human species? Examine ancient stone tools and skull casts and learn about our hominin ancestors and the emergence and spread of behaviors we think of as typically, or even uniquely, “human”.
Sara Watson, Negaunee Postdoctoral Research Fellow, is the presenter for this session.
Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.
During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the Grainger Science Hub. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.
Visit the Science Hub on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.
